Palm Sunday: Beyond COVID-19
It’s a good day to keep family, friends and teammates in our prayers, and to offer up special thanks for the medical and EMS workers who put themselves at risk every day. It’s also a good day for good news.
The majority of our daily updates have addressed what we’re doing to keep our team safe as we navigate the world of COVID-19. In the midst of this change, we have not lost sight of our vision to Build Better, and our mission to Create Extraordinary Opportunity – both now and on the other side of the coronavirus.
Although a majority of our work procurement group is working remote, it’s not made us any less effective. Last week on Wednesday and Thursday alone, estimating signed up $6 million in new masonry contracts. We’re building backlog in preparation for recovery.
